We received about 4-6 inches of snow today! It was enough to get the groomers out and test them out but we decided not to groom the trail system. There were too many branches bent over from the heavy wet snow, these will spring back up as the snow melts. The forecast is calling for warmer temps for next week.

Woke up to white ground, snow  and a NW wind.   Yes, I wanted to break out the groomers, but I had a date with 2 friends from Madison and Chicago to grouse hunt.

use hunt on the ski trails.

Snow is forecast for the weekend.  stay tuned to the new website www.abrski.com

The fall has been really pretty. Colors are in full/post peak. September/October have been the months to take care of any last minute trail changes, get the firewood, get rid of dead fallen trees on the trail and mow the trails low for the October snows that often fall here in Big Snow Country. We are now ready for the white stuff!

I hope you enjoy the new website and we hope to see you soon on snow!

We closed today after a nice long ski season. We want to thank you all for a great season and we hope to see you back in early November. The trails, cabins and ski shop are closed for the summer. The ski shop is open for mail order business. Season passes on sale until April at discount rates for next year.

Skiing today was superb. We had some skiers checking in to ski at 9 AM and they skied till 5 tonight …..with smiles. The temps never warmed up like the forecast and we got snow not rain! High temp today was 30 and it was down to 8 last night.

It has been snowing, we have a good inch on the ground and it is snowing now. The new snow will mix in with the old snow and ski well for the weekend. We will be out in the early AM hours resetting clssic tracks and powertilling skating/classic. We may not groom all 60 km but we will groom some nice skiing. Sunday looks very good for skiing as well.Don’t miss the Spring Party this weekend. Events start at 10 AM and go till 7 PM, see the schedule.
